What To Expect
We can help you feel more comfortable representing yourself in court!
Our staff is trained to provide legal assistance with filling out the required paperwork in the areas listed above. We may also be able to help with other basic legal forms or provide general information to assist you through other legal processes.
We have volunteer attorneys on staff each Saturday who can answer questions about forms you plan to file, answer questions about the legal process, and provide advice on how to obtain the legal result you seek.
Please bring any documents related to your issue. They will allow us to help you as best we can. (click here for a more detailed list of what to bring)
We cannot and will not serve as legal counsel or represent anyone in court.
History of Our Clinic
In the Fall of 2006, a couple of William Mitchell students had the vision of establishing a legal clinic on campus to help better serve our community. The William Mitchell Self-Help Clinic finally opened its doors September 12, 2009 for a one-semester pilot program. During our first two semesters, we helped 90 patrons, many of whom came back multiple times to resolve their legal issues. Due to our resounding success, we are now a permanent clinic.
